It was an afternoon to forget for Watford Women as head coach Damon Lathrope was sent off and his side were beaten 2-0 at home to a Southampton team reduced to 10 players a minute into the second half.
He may well have been questioning some of Saints’ efforts to run the clock down during the second half as they held onto their 1-0 lead following the dismissal of central defender Milly Mott for a clear tug on striker Carly Johns, who had turned her and was breaking into the box. There was also a lack of quality about their attacking work. Far too often promising positions melted away on the back of a poor final ball or bad decision.
That now creates a longer-term problem for Lathrope. He can’t sign a new keeper until January, even on loan. If he could find a free agent then that would be a possibility, but he spent all weekend trying to do that without success.They conceded the only goal of the game after 18 minutes at Grosvenor Vale when Molly Pike met a cross with a shot that crashed back off the bar, and Sophia Pharoah reacted first to volley the loose ball home.
Coral Haines curled the resultant free-kick towards the top corner, but Saints keeper Kayla Rendell saved well. Claims for handball were waved away and eventually Haines struck a low shot from the edge of the box which Rendell held well.
